I love this pattern. I am going to make another one either in medium or trying the small with a looser stitch.
Seems to be well written with clear instructions however the Modified single crochet wasn't well explained for me so I referred to the the designer's blog for a better explanation. I wasn't able to pull off the msc due to the yarn I choose but I followed the pattern with traditional SC, thus far it's coming out nicely. Pattern has lots of clear photos but no final measurement. Having made beanies before 21in is size S, 22M, followed by 23in being size large. Overall this is a good pattern and I'd check this shop for other buys.
I adore this pattern! Amazing photographs and well written instructions!
I made this for my teenage son, it was working up great until I got to the bottom half. It seemed like it was a bit larger on the bottom, I thought it was supposed to be a little fitted around the chin and neck but it looked stretched out. I think I will try this pattern again just to see if I was the problem.
